EVERYONE PLEASE READ THIS!!!

There seems to be a bit of confusion about the Macy's Day-After-Thanksgiving Downtown Portland Parade gig. Here's the deal:

• Tigard High IS marching in the parade, which is early on Friday November 29. Macy's is paying us to be there. And we're using the money to keep from having to raise WDL and WG fees.
• Bus leaves at 6:00 am (note change!)
• Step-off is 8:45 am
• We're done and back on the bus by 10 am (at the very latest)
• We arrive back at Tigard High before 10:30 am

EVERYONE is expected to do this parade. There is something for EVERYONE to do.
   "Hey McKee!"
   "Hey what?"
   "Who is included, when you say 'EVERYONE'?"

• Concert Band
• Symphonic Band
• Wind Ensemble
• Jazz Band
• Marching Band
• Winter Drumline
• Winter Guard

The only exceptions are those who will be physically unable to attend, because they are not in the Greater Portland/Vancouver area that day. If this applies to you, you MUST sign up on the "I'm Going To Be Out Of Town" list in the band room, with your name and your Friday destination. And you MUST tell Irving AND McKee personally.

"But - but - but - what if I want to go Black Friday shopping?!?!"
"There is PLENTY of time to shop early (Fred Meyer Half-Price Socks Sale starts at 5am!), and after we get back. Yay!" 

So unless you are exempt, if you are/were in one of the THS Band Program ensembles this year, we will see you at rehearsal next Wednesday.  


"Aye?"
"AYE!"
